Maybe This Administration Doesn’t Politic Pretty Good After All.
For reasons known only to himself, the President dispatched his faithful flop-sweater Robert Gibbs to deliver a slap to the President’s most ardent stooges supporters that would have made Moe Howard proud. During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom he said [...]
Well, At Least the MSM Vetted Somebody.
Thanks to GQ, we know that Rand Paul, Republican candidate for Senate from Kentucky, was a pretty ordinary college student. The most salacious revelation from GQ’s probing article, that Paul “kidnapped” a fellow student and forced her to smoke marijuana, turned out to be complete bunk. What we’re left with is that Paul was a [...]
The Delivery Presents – Movie Talk From Smart Men

The Delivery Presents – Celebratory Fandemonium!
I wanted to do something a bit different for my 50th show, and so I did! Most other radio hosts, when they have a milestone program, bring in high-profile guests or resort to some sort of gimmickry to get you to listen and to make it special. Well, I suppose you could say I did [...]
